Nice C55 needs a drop though, and I agree with the others, the M3's eyebrows don't do anything for the car

The eyebrows were an afterthought. I knew they were hit or miss but I just wanted to see if I liked them or not.

The wheels on the C55 are RS-GT's.

Yeah, they are 18's. No plans to drop though, with 2635/35 in the rear, I think I hear some rubbing already. I think it looks fine as is, doesn't looked jack like those with 19's and not lowered.

RS-GT's were my first choice, but then came across a deal on the LM's and jumped on it.

They look good on the C55.

I swapped out the CF ones for the polished ones because they are less common.

Great pictures!

Ditto on the M3 eyelids.

C55 looks great. I agree that you prob don't want to slam it. Maybe add a CF splitter?

Great pics! Quick question, are you required by law to have the front plate in NY? It totally kills the front look of the cars. Other than that, both of those rides look clean & beautiful.
